The Lucky Charm
Language: en
Ever since my baby brother was born, I started getting "lost." My stepfather, Mark, would leave me at amusement parks, beaches, outside grocery stores, on busy streets... Six times, I managed to find my way back or get help. Each time I returned home, my mother’s cold indifference chilled me to the bone. The seventh time I got lost, I met a kind woman. "Sweetie, would you like to be my daughter?" I nodded. "Yes, please." My stepfather and mother happily gave me away to her. They didn't know that I was the family's lucky charm. Without me, their luck was about to run out.
